The day the NYT broke that Manafort joined the Trump campaign, Lewandowski turned himself in to police for assaulting a Breitbart reporter a few weeks earlier. It dominated the news cycle for three days (Trump helped fuel the story), giving Manafort cover. Charges later dropped.

Lewandowski participated in a finance event with Nigel Farage in NYC last week, to help raise money for a new Brexit lobbying group that Bannon serves as an “informal advisor,” on. Bannon’s former company Cambridge Analytica played a big role in Brexit.

Who was one of Trump’s most vocal mouth pieces to advocate for Brexit in June 2016 after the vote that continues to cause chaos in the UK and is celebrated by Putin? Corey Lewandowski.

Here’s a fun fact about Corey Lewandowski, Cambridge Analytica, and New Hampshire. Ted Cruz’s campaign manager provided Lewandowski with daily targeting data and other strategy advice during the 2016 NH primary to help Trump win and knock Kasich out.

Ted Cruz hired Cambridge Analytica in the 2016 primary. As the documentary “The Great Hack” explains, it’s a military weapon for disinformation campaigns. Mercer’s funded it, Bannon ran it.

CA went on strike in April and abandoned Cruz, helping seal Trump’s nomination.

Trump was in London for the Brexit vote and to see how well Cambridge Analytica could impact the outcome. He hired the firm shortly after. CA head, Brit Alexander Nix illegally shaped Trump campaign’s CA strategy and admitted to coordinating with Trump Super PACs.

While Cambridge Analytica no longer exists, it’s team, office space, strategy, & data do as Emerdata.

What are the chances Emerdata & Bannon will play a leading role in trying to elect Corey Lewandowski to U.S. Senate in NH if he runs? High. He shouldn’t be underestimated.
